I have an ooold (4 yrs?) cellphone that my kind friend donated to me last year when I was penniless.

It's a Samsung Anycall (so you know it's strong), silver, clamshell (flip-up style), green-screen. Her puppy chewed it up pretty good, so the antenna is wrapped up to keep the wires from poking someone's eye out and the body has some tooth marks as well. Korean-only menus (but you figure it out by experimenting if you don't know Korean), can only send and receive short text messages (5.5 lines, no graphics). Also can't open voice messages (she forgot the secret code and I guess it's a big pain to try to get it reset?).

Has a spare battery and a charger (cradle-style...couldn't be bothered to hunt down the old-style 12 pin plug charger after the 4th store I asked said 'we don't have it, too old').

Weird things: occasionally it gives the wrong name in the Caller ID (if the names are stored in your phonebook) and twice it has frozen on me (not mid-call, though), but this was fixed by removing and reinserting the battery. These might be because it's pretty old and been throughly abused (dropped many times, not to mention the puppy trauma). But I've used it successfully all year, so someone without a phone or money could do the same.

When one friend left, she donated her ancient phone to her church here, but I'm not a church-going type, so wondering what charities/whatever could use this kind of phone. Or what poor person looking at Dave's is desperate for any phone at all.

I leave Tues morning, so it's available Monday night. (July 10th)
pm me (or reply) if you know how to donate it to a good cause or text me if you want it directly. My number is 010-7736-2577 & I'm in Seoul, usually north of the river (I'm snobby that way ^^).
